Chapter 813: A Defeat
On the sacrificial platform, a group of Taoist priests and a group of monks fought together, and on the sacrificial platform, which was originally used to worship the ancestors of the royal family, there were already more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally, and the smell of blood wafted in the air.
Both sides shot and were ruthless, and they were ruthless.
The soldiers of the Yulin Battalion under the command of Chi Fengdian have rushed to the area around the sacrificial platform from all directions, and Chi Fengdian is holding a long knife, leading the monks of the Great Guangming Temple to escort Longtai from the sacrificial platform quickly.
The black knife battalion fluttered in the air with its flags, and although nearly a thousand black knife battalion cavalry were galloping, the formation was kept unusually neat, a black horse rushed to the front, and the knights on horseback were dressed in battle armor, and under the sun, the light flickered.
At this time, the ministers also found that the cavalry galloped forward, and they were shocked, the imperial tomb was heavy, extraordinary, if there was no emperor's will, even the dignitaries and nobles were not allowed to step into the imperial tomb, at this time, nearly a thousand iron horsemen suddenly appeared without warning, which really surprised the ministers, some people have seen the black knife banner fluttering in the air, and they know that the most powerful cavalry in the hands of the Sima family rushed over, and they knew that the king of Huainan was already defeated today.
The ministers are not stupid, and everything that happened today has no warning in advance, but now they have already understood it in their hearts.
King Huainan wanted to take advantage of the sacrificial ceremony to get rid of the Sima clan, but he didn't want to fall into Sima Lan's calculations at every step, and it can be seen from today's situation that the Sima family should have known that the King of Huainan would suddenly attack, so he had already prepared a way to deal with it, and even secretly mobilized the Black Knife Battalion to come.
The soldiers of the Black Knife Battalion are extremely brave, and they are created by the Sima clan with countless efforts, even if they are the Royal Feather Forest Battalion, facing each other, they are by no means the opponents of the Black Knife Battalion.
The moment the Black Knife Battalion appeared, today's situation was completely under Sima Lan's control.
Although the shadow rats have been fighting for the king of Huainan for a long time after the rebellion of the tomb guards, the black knife battalion came galloping, so that the remaining shadow rats instantly lost their fighting spirit, and it was difficult to get out at this time.
Sima Lan sat in a wheelchair, even if he heard the sound of horses' hooves from the cavalry of the Black Knife Battalion, he was still calm, but there were several monks beside him to protect him, and he sat firmly on Mount Tai.
Chi Fengdian escorted Longtai to retreat from the sacrificial platform, and saw that the cavalry of the Black Knife Battalion was getting closer and closer, but his brows were furrowed, and he suddenly shouted: "Everyone listen, put down your weapons, and listen to the emperor's fate, if there are those who continue to resist, there will be no forgiveness." As soon as he raised his hand, the spear in the hand of the Feather Forest elite soldier advanced a few more points.
There are very few shadow rats left, knowing that they have fallen into a desperate situation, this time there is death and no life, listening to Chi Fengdian's loud drink, but they have not put down their weapons, Chi Fengdian raised the long knife, and with a wave of the knife, a group of soldiers with bows and arrows poured up from behind, bending their bows and arrows, and they were already aimed at a group of shadow mice.
After a period of silence, finally a shadow mouse took the lead in dropping the weapon in his hand, and when the others saw this, their fighting spirit was completely lost, and they all threw down their weapons, Chi Fengdian waved his knife, and immediately rushed up to a group of soldiers, and pressed the shadow mouse to the ground.
Qi Ning's expression was cold, his eyes swept, this time the convener of the shadow mouse was Duan Qingchen, Qi Ning also suspected that Lu Shanghe was also involved, but he did not find the existence of Lu Shanghe, although he knew Duan Qingchen's reputation, but he had never seen Duan Qingchen himself, but he didn't know if Duan Qingchen was also mixed in this group of Taoist priests.
At this time, the black knife battalion was only a short distance away from the sacrificial platform, and the first man had already raised his war knife and took the lead in reining the horse, and there was a sound of horse neighing behind him, and all the cavalry of the black knife battalion were also reined in the horse, and the formation was still orderly, and everyone was pressing the handle of the saber with their hands, carrying the longbow, and waiting for an order to pull out the knife at any time.
The cavalry did not dismount, like the stone sculptures of nearly a thousand cavalry, the men and horses stood on the ground, and did not move, even the leading general did not move.
Long Tai condescendingly overlooked the Black Knife Camp, his brows furrowed.
Chi Fengdian made people capture the shadow mouse, and asked other Taoist priests to gather together, and ordered not to move.
King Huainan's face was like ashes, his eyes were staring at Chi Fengdian like a knife, and after a while, he saw Chi Fengdian walking towards him, although King Huainan knew that he was defeated, he still stood up, put his hands behind his back, and raised his neck slightly.
Chi Fengdian didn't look at him either, he stopped a few steps away, but he taught to the Lingxu Palm: "Lingxu Palm, please!" He raised his hand and made a gesture.
The Lingxu Palm Sect's lips moved slightly, but he said coldly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"The head of the sect should know why." Chi Fengdian said lightly: "A group of assassins infiltrating your disciples, you always have to make it clear. ”
"This ..... It's not about the old way. Sweat broke out on the forehead of the Spirit Void Palm Sect: "Yes..... It's they who get in. ”
"Whether it has anything to do with it or not, the court will find out." Chi Fengdian said in a deep voice: "Come on, bring the Spirit Void Palm Sect over first." As soon as his words fell, two Yulin warriors immediately came up from behind, and they were about to step forward to hold the Lingxu Palm Sect, but the King of Huainan had already shouted in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, Chi Fengdian, the Lingxu Palm Sect is the respect of the Daomen, and the emperor has not issued an edict yet, how dare you be rude?" ”
Chi Fengdian arched his hand to the King of Huainan and said: "Lord Wang, there are assassins hidden among the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, and the Lingxu Sect is to blame, and the last general will take the responsibility of defending the saints. ”
King Huainan's face turned pale, and he sneered: "Good, good, good ......!" But he said nothing.
At this time, he heard a cold voice say: "Commander Chi, since everyone involved in the case has to be controlled, why don't you take Xiao Zhang down?" No one is deaf or blind, he wants to harm the emperor and his father, and seek to usurp the throne. ”
Chi Fengdian glanced at it, and saw that the person who spoke was Sima Changshen, and said lightly: "Loyalty, the emperor is here, how to send it down, the emperor has his own judgment." With a wave of his hand, the two warriors stepped forward and grabbed the Lingxu Palm Sect first, and the Lingxu Palm Sect struggled a few times before looking at King Huainan and said with a look of annoyance: "King Huainan, this is what you said is foolproof?" ”
King Huainan turned his head and didn't look at him, still standing with his hands behind his back.
Sima Lan had already asked Sima Changshen to push the wheelchair to the top of the steps, and asked Sima Changshen to help him kneel on the ground, kowtow and say: "The emperor is frightened, the old minister is not well guarded, and the crime deserves death!" ”
When he said this, the surrounding ministers finally reacted, and they all knelt on the ground and confessed their guilt.
Longtai also came to his senses at this time, slowly climbed the steps, walked to the sacrificial platform, seven or eight steps away from the king of Huainan, stared at the king of Huainan, the king of Huainan saw Longtai coming, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of committing a crime today, but just wants to get rid of the traitorous ministers for the emperor." Glancing at Sima Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that the old thief is treacherous, and the minister ...... I can't get rid of the traitor for the country. ”
Longtai's lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak.
King Huainan's eyes fell on Sima Lan, and suddenly laughed loudly, Sima Lan raised his head, looked at King Huainan, and said lightly: "The prince can still laugh now?" ”
"Old thief, you are really cunning." King Huainan still smiled and said, "This king fell into your calculations this time, and he has nothing to say." ”
"Calculation?" Sima Lan sighed: "Isn't the prince bent on calculating the old minister. ”
Longtai glanced at him, saw him kneeling on his knees, and said lightly: "Loyalty, help the old prince to get up." ”
Sima Changshen immediately helped Sima Lan up and asked him to sit down in a wheelchair, Sima Lan thanked Longtai, and then said to King Huainan: "Lord Wang, if the old minister did not guess wrong, the case of the Black Scale Camp should be planned by the prince, which can not only suppress the Black Scale Camp, but also take the opportunity to transfer Wu Dalin from the Yulin Camp, I don't know if what the old minister said is right?" ”
Qi Ning was not far away, and he could hear it clearly, but his face did not change.
King Huainan snorted coldly and didn't speak, Qi Ning listened to him and didn't refute, knowing that what Sima Lan said seemed to be true, and at this time, it was finally determined that the real culprit behind the Black Scale Camp case turned out to be King Huainan.
The previous Huomen disciples took advantage of the Black Scale Camp to recruit soldiers, and mixed in, and then the three soldiers stole out of the barracks and killed the servants in the Taichang Temple Shaoqing Meng Guangren's Mansion on the way, but they happened to be bumped into by the Kyoto Prefecture Yacha, and the three of them were arrested and put in prison, and Tian Heng, who was the leader, was poisoned in the Kyoto Prefecture Prison.
At that time, Qi Ning suspected that the person behind the plot was extraordinary, and it was very likely that it was one of Sima Lan and King Huainan, but he could never be sure.
Today, Sima Lan said a word, Qi Ning thought to himself, it seems that the facts are not far from what he guessed at the beginning, the final purpose of the Black Scale Camp case is to let the imperial court clean up the Black Scale Camp, so as to find an excuse to send generals to the Black Scale Camp.
"The prince wants to rebel, and he has no military power, so he wants to win over the Yulin battalion led by Chi for your use." Sima Lan's voice was very slow, but every word spit out made people feel that it was the truth: "It's just that you always thought that Wu Dalin was recommended by the old minister back then, so you thought that Wu Dalin was the old minister's person, and you were worried that Wu Dalin was in the Yulin camp and hindered the commander of Chi and ruined your affairs, so he wanted to transfer Wu Dalin away, first, he could sell him a big favor to Commander Chi, and secondly, he thought that he could let Commander Chi act without constraints, what the old minister said should not be wrong, right?" ”
King Huainan laughed angrily and said, "Yes, it will naturally take a lot of effort to get rid of you, an ambitious old thief. Old thief, you have many henchmen, if you keep Wu Dalin in the Yulin camp, maybe he will spoil your old thief's big plan, this king naturally has to be cautious and find an opportunity to transfer him away. His eyes were staring at Sima Lan's old face like knives, and then he sighed and said, "It's a pity that this king is too light on the enemy, you didn't object at that time, and this king only thought that you just took the opportunity to use Wu Dalin to get involved in the Black Scale Camp, but I didn't expect that you were already setting a trap for this king at that time." ”
